Contrary to claims made in this thread PG&E does not ( edit: override your control of smart thermostats ). It offers a price guarantee that for the first year ratepayers will not pay more than the standard plan by switching to the time-of-use plan required for the rebate. After the first year you can switch back to your old rate plan for free if your bill shows that you have been unable to avoid high use during peak hours. This means NO RISK. The above is per PG&E reps. Call to get first hand confirmation.

Just be warned, this SmartAC program requires you to give away control of your thermostat. May literally be a hot deal when it's 92 out and they crank your AC up to 85 or even turn it off. Just make sure you know what you're getting into

Just read the T&C's. Can confirm.

What a disaster that'd be. Expect to never have your house be set lower than 85.

How bout it. They're gonna give away some $100 thermostats and in return turn everyone's AC off. What a terrible idea for anyone to get involved in

If they set your thermostat to 85, can't you just disconnect it from WiFi and gain local control?

Kinda inconvenient but it only gets down to 40-50 at night in the winter.
